Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 311 Awakening the Lower Sequence
As long as Wu Jie is alright, Wu Meng is the best tool.

Chu Sheng already had a plan in mind.

With these thoughts in mind, Chu Sheng stood up and walked out with Xingzi.

As Chu Sheng approached the door, he noticed Wu Meng and Wu Jie's hesitant movements, as if they wanted to knock but were too afraid to.

Upon seeing their appearance, Chu Sheng's face remained largely expressionless; he simply stepped forward.

Upon seeing Chu Sheng appear, Wu Jie swallowed hard, glanced at his sister beside him, and forced himself to stand still, suppressing his fear.

Wu Meng wasn't as scared as him. Instead, she pursed her lips, looked at Chu Sheng, and said, "Brother Chu, I..."

She had barely opened her mouth, before she could finish speaking, when Chu Sheng waved his hand and said, "I know what you're thinking."

As he spoke, he reached out and continued, "Bring me that sacrificial offering."

Wu Meng was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly realized what was happening. She took the sacrificial longsword from Wu Jie's hand and then handed it to Chu Sheng.

After receiving the sacrificial longsword, Chu Sheng did not immediately transform it into a farming tool. Instead, he looked at Wu Meng and said, "Transforming a sacrificial object into a farming tool, while not exactly creating a sacrificial object directly, does not require the use of extraordinary materials."

"But I will still charge a fee."

Upon hearing this, Wu Meng looked troubled, but she knew that since Chu Sheng knew she wanted to transform the sacrificial offering into a farming tool, was willing to meet her, and had even taken the sacrificial offering's long sword, he would most likely help her with the transformation.

"Brother Chu, we don't have any extraordinary materials right now. Do you think we could use the rent as collateral?"

Chu Sheng looked at her with a half-smile, without saying a word.

Wu Meng swallowed hard, looking at Chu Sheng with some trepidation, not daring to look him in the eye or at his expression.

a long time.

Chu Sheng agreed, "Okay."

“The original rent was 40%, but the rent for the two of you is now 60%.”

"If you accept, I can help you with the modifications."

"Yes, yes!" Wu Meng was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

Wu Jie didn't speak, nor was it his turn to speak.

Upon seeing Wu Meng nod, a black flame appeared out of thin air in Chu Sheng's hand, and in an instant, the black flame covered the sacrificial longsword he was holding.

Within seconds, the black flames died down, and the sacrificial longsword in Chu Sheng's hand transformed into a metal hoe.

Chu Sheng didn't need to put in much effort to modify such a sacrificial offering.

Although the properties and concepts of the extraordinary materials used to fuse this sacrificial object are different from those of agricultural tools, the properties and concepts required for an agricultural tool itself are not very important.

Sharp, hard, and requires less effort.

This is the best evaluation of a farm tool.

Even if the sacrificial offering itself has no power, it is sharp and hard enough.

If a farm tool has these two features, it will be much less strenuous.

[Hard hoe]

[Ranking of offerings: 12679]

[Qi Circulation: Can be infused with any energy to enhance sharpness!]

[Sacrifice: Extraordinary items; every use comes at a price!]

[Usage Cost: Daily blood sacrifice required!]

[Hidden Attribute: If you are Chu Sheng, there is no cost to using this!]

This is the capability of the modified hoe.

The original sacrificial longsword's ability has been transformed into the ability to channel energy.

But Chu Sheng knew that the original ability was only to improve sharpness and hardness, and that ability was actually no different from the current ability to channel qi.

Chu Sheng tossed the hoe back to Wu Meng and Wu Jie, and then reminded them again, "Don't forget your rent."

"Okay!" Wu Meng held the hoe, feeling the power and the cost coming from her mind, and couldn't help but smile.

This ability may not be of much use to them, but the cost is also not high.

Providing them with fresh blood every day is a price they pay, as if it were nothing.

The price Zhou Dun paid for the sacrificial Tang sword was to keep the wound intact for 24 hours. No matter how many wounds he inflicted on himself or others, blood would flow out, and he could simply use some blood to pay for the price of the hoe.

Seeing Wu Meng's expression, Chu Sheng coughed lightly and continued, "I have something else that can change your situation, but the price is that you have to work for me for a long time. I don't know if you want it."

Chu Sheng spoke calmly, as if he were talking about what to have for lunch.

Upon hearing his words, Wu Meng looked up, somewhat puzzled, but she knew that if Chu Sheng said it could change her and her brother's situation, it must be something good, so she immediately nodded.

"want!"

"You don't even know what it is, and you want it?"

"Yes!" Wu Meng nodded. "Since Brother Chu said so, he must need me. And if he needs me, he definitely won't harm me!"

She paused, then looked at Chu Sheng and Xingzi beside him and continued, "Although everyone else says that you're not a good person, Brother Chu, I know that you're a good person!"

“You don’t kill people for no reason, and you didn’t do anything to us survivors. Those who were killed simply asked for it.”

"If I were you, I would have killed them too."

Chu Sheng remained noncommittal. He was not fooled by Wu Meng's typical flattery, nor did he intend to keep her in suspense any longer. Instead, he explained, "Don't worry."

"I didn't harm you."

As he spoke, Chu Sheng looked at Wu Meng and asked, "Do you know the lifespan of a Sequence Ability User?"

“I know a little,” Wu Meng nodded. “Xiaoxue told me a bit before, but I don’t know much.”

Chu Sheng nodded. "When a Sequence Ability User first awakens, their lifespan will increase to around 150 years."

"When you advance to Sequence 8, your lifespan will double to 300 years. When you advance to Sequence 7, your lifespan will double again to 600 years."

He paused, then looked at Wu Meng, "And once you reach Sequence Six, your lifespan won't just double, it will increase tenfold."

"At this point, the lifespan of a Sequence Ability user will reach six thousand years."

"Every three sequence levels form a major level. Advancement within a major level doubles lifespan, while advancement within a major level increases lifespan tenfold."

Wu Meng was somewhat shocked upon hearing this. Although Cheng Xue had told her before that awakening a Sequence Ability User would increase their lifespan, she hadn't said much. All she knew was that a Sequence Seven user could live for six hundred years, and she knew nothing else.

Although I felt that the Sequence Ability Users were powerful at the time, the feeling was not strong. After all, six hundred years is a lot, but it is only a few times the lifespan.

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, she realized that the life levels of sequence ability users were all different.

Sequence 7 might only be a few times the lifespan of an average person, but reaching Sequence 6 means a lifespan that is longer than all previous lifespans combined.

Although Wu Meng was shocked, she was still somewhat puzzled as to why Chu Sheng would tell her these things.

She dared not speculate about the sequence awakening.

After all, everyone knows that sequence awakening requires luck; it's purely random.

You might awaken to this state while eating or sleeping, or you might never awaken to it in your entire life.

Therefore, Wu Meng never forced the awakening of the sequence. Chu Sheng continued, "According to my observation, it's a certainty that a sequence ability user will reach sequence six in the shortest time after awakening."

"Of course, this is on the premise that the awakened sequence cannot be too common."

"For those sequences that have been awakened by thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, because the source of the sequence is dispersed, it is considered impressive if they can reach Sequence Seven in their lifetime."

"The sequence and the number of people are directly proportional."

"The fewer people who awaken in a sequence, the stronger it is and the higher its growth ceiling. The more people who awaken, the weaker it is and the lower its growth ceiling is."

As Chu Sheng spoke, he looked at Wu Meng and asked, "Do you know what I'm trying to say?"

Wu Meng shook her head upon hearing this. Not only her, but even Xingzi, who was standing next to her, was somewhat confused as to why Chu Sheng was saying these things.

It's not that these things can't be explained to ordinary people who don't have an awakening sequence, but it's unnecessary.

"The sequence is not completely random."

“There are some sequences that can be given to other people.”

Chu Sheng spoke these words softly, but they were like thunderclaps in the ears of Wu Meng, Wu Jie, and Xingzi.

"Brother Chu Sheng, how could the sequence be given to someone else?!" Xingzi stared at Chu Sheng with wide eyes.

Chu Sheng did not answer her question, but looked at Wu Meng and said, "These sequences are subsequences of a sequence."

"I have a lower sequence called the mechanical sequence, which can create mechanical dolls, disguise myself, and spy on the minds of other people or things."

"I can help you awaken your sequence, but you must work for me for three thousand years."

After Chu Sheng finished speaking, he did not continue.

After hearing his words, Wu Meng fell silent.

Then, she looked up at Chu Sheng and said, "I do."

“A wise choice.” Chu Sheng snapped his fingers, then opened the vertical eye between his brows, his ruthless and indifferent gaze falling on Wu Meng.

The next moment, Chu Sheng took out a contract from his body and handed it over.

【Iron Hoop Contract】

[Article 1: Party B is required to work for Party A for 3,000 years. Failure to meet this work period will be considered a breach of contract!]

[Article 2: Party B shall not refuse any work assigned by Party A!]

[Article 3: Party B shall not cause any loss to Party A's interests!]

[Article 4: Party A will provide Party B with a sequence for awakening! This is the salary for three thousand years, paid in advance!]

[Article 5: After the three-thousand-year period is completed, Party B shall be free; however, in the years that follow, if Party B becomes an enemy of Party A, Party A may strip Party B of their status!]

[Work period: February 4th, Year 2 of the Sequence Era - February 4th, Year 3002 of the Sequence Era!]

[Party A: Chu Sheng]

[Party B:]

This was a contract that Chu Sheng had prepared long ago, and it only had one restriction on him: the payment sequence.

If the Iron Hoop Contract didn't require both parties to make a payment for it to take effect, Chu Sheng wouldn't even have wanted to include this clause in it.

Even so, Chu Sheng did not write many things down on it.

Everything written on it was in his favor.

For example, if he didn't write down the job responsibilities, you can't refuse the work he assigns, you can't cause him any loss, and you can't be his enemy in the future.

It can be said that if Chu Sheng wanted to, no one could live past three thousand years.

After all, going to fight a monster far beyond one's own strength can also be a job.

Wu Meng knew that what Chu Sheng wrote in the contract was unfair, but she was already very content.

If Chu Sheng can really help her awaken her sequence, that would be the greatest fairness.

Even if one's life is no longer one's own, even if one no longer lives for oneself, it is still fair.

With the sequence, she can live a better life, and she can help her younger brother live a better life too.

Not to mention the extension of lifespan and the manifestation of extraordinary abilities.

So Wu Meng took the iron-bound contract, glanced at it briefly, and signed her name on the second party's side without hesitation.

As she signed her name, a white light appeared on the iron band contract, and then Wu Meng felt something binding her in the dark.

This feeling was wonderful; she had never experienced anything like it before.

Seeing her sign her name, Chu Sheng smiled and said, "From now on, you're my employee."

As he spoke, the eternal vertical eye between his eyebrows opened fully, its indifferent, ruthless, and superior gaze fixed on Wu Meng.

The next moment, a beam of white light appeared in the pupil of the Eternal Vertical Eye, and rapidly entered Wu Meng's brow, forming two 'Heavenly Craftsmanship' seal characters on it.

It looks like text, but it also looks like a symbol.

This is the identifier for the hypothetical sequence.

The Tiangong seal script signifies that she is a lower-level sequence within the Tiangong sequence.

With the formation of these two seal characters, Wu Meng's skin, which had been tanned by the sun, instantly returned to its normal color.

At the same time, her hair turned silver-white, the whites of her eyes turned scarlet, while her pupils remained black.

Not only that, Wu Meng's fingernails on her left hand turned black.

"I"

"Have I awakened?!"

Wu Meng sensed the information and abilities coming through her mind, then looked at her left hand's black fingernails and looked up at Chu Sheng.

"That's right, it has awakened."

"However, even though your sequence is my subordinate sequence, there is still a price to pay."

"You can first see what the price is."

Although Chu Sheng said this, his gaze was fixed on the fingernails of her left hand.

He didn't care about Wu Meng's hair and eyes.

Even before he bestowed a lower-level sequence upon Wu Meng, he knew that Wu Meng would pay the price for possessing his Heavenly Craftsmanship sequence.

This is also what the lower-order sequence has to endure.

In other words, his sequence cost is nothing substantial.

It's just a change in hair color and the color of the whites of the eyes.

However, the mechanism sequence that Wu Meng awakened also has its own sequence cost.

The cost of any subordinate sequence must bear the cost of two sequences: one is the cost of the superior sequence, which is definite, and the other is unknown and random.
